Tens of thousands of Spanish protesters marched Sunday in Madrid to protest high unemployment and bleak economic prospects. Other protests were held across Spain. The unemployment rate in Spain has topped 21 percent—the highest in the 17-nation Eurozone.

Jose Luis, protester: “Politicians continue to ignore us. They keep saying we are protesting against the crisis because of unemployment. What we are protesting against is their attitude. We don’t like it. They ignore us when we are out here in the streets. We have a clear message, but they water it down, manipulate it, and say other things. As they ignore us, we have to continue coming out here to see if they finally listen.”
